Michelle Keegan is an English actress, who found popular success playing Tina McIntyre in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street (2008âÂÂ2014). The role earned her widespread recognition and various accolades, including seven British Soap Awards, six Inside Soap Awards, four TV Choice Awards, three All About Soap awards, a TV Now Award, and three nominations for the National Television Awards. Among these were 12 accolades for "Sexiest Female", including six consecutive wins at the British Soap Awards between 2009 and 2014, which Keegan found "embarrassing. Because I was in a lot of heavy storylines. There was one where I felt like I was crying every day for months and months. And then at the end of it, when the accolade was sexiest female, it was so frustrating." The Guardian listed Tina as one of the 10 best Coronation Street characters of all time in 2010.
Following Keegan's departure from Coronation Street, she starred in the television dramas Ordinary Lies (2015) and Our Girl (2016âÂÂ2020). Her performance in the former garnered her a nomination for the RTS North West Award for Best Female Performance in a Single Drama or Drama Series. For her portrayal of Georgie Lane in Our Girl, she received the Best Actress TV Choice Award in 2018 and nominations for a National Television Award and a TVTimes Award. She was also nominated for Best Comedy Performance at the TV Choice Awards for her role in the comedy series Brassic (2019âÂÂ2025). Her performance in the thriller miniseries Fool Me Once (2024) earned her another National Television Award nomination and a nomination for a National Film Award UK. Apart from her recognitions for acting, Keegan was named by FHM as the Sexiest Woman on Television in 2013, the Sexiest Woman in the UK in 2014, and the Sexiest Woman in the World in 2015,
She was voted runner-up in the Best Dressed Soap Star category for the National Television Awards and British Soap Awards in 2014.
